Inspira7on
"The only way to learn the language of nature is performing many experiments in laboratories that can be hands-‐on or remote”
Ingvar Gustavsson

The value of experimenta7on in Engineering Educa7on
Royal Society moXo 'Nullius in verba' “… express the determina:on of its Fellows … to verify all statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment.” The value of combining theory and pracQce traced back to the 1st engineering school in the United States, the U.S. Military Academy, founded at West Point, N.Y. in 1802 [2, p. 122].

Five Major ShiCs in 100 Years of EE
1. a shie from hands-‐on and pracQcal emphasis to engineering science and analyQcal emphasis
2. a shie to outcomes-‐based educaQon and accreditaQon
3. a shie to emphasizing engineering design 4. a shie to applying educaQon, learning, and social-‐
behavioral sciences research 5. a shie to integraQng informaQon, computaQonal, and
communicaQons technology in educaQon

Five Major ShiCs in 100 Years of EE
5. a shie to integraQng ICT in educaQon • content delivery: television, videotape, and the Internet • programmed instrucQon: individualized student feedback • personal response systems (clickers) • computaQonal technologies • intelligent tutors: second phase of individualized student feedback
• simula4ons • games and compeQQons • remote laboratories • grading

Different lab environments for performing experiments in STEM
“(Re)Thinking Higher Engineering Educa4on”
VISIR Laboratories • University of Deusto, Spain • FH Campus Wien University of Applied Sciences, Austria • Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden • Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS), Austria • School of Engineering – Polytechnic of Porto, Portugal • National University for Distance Education, Spain • Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India • Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, Georgia

From Erasmus+ ... ... to VISIR+
• Erasmus+ is the EU Programme in the fields of educaQon, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-‐2020.
• KEY ACTION 2: CooperaQon for InnovaQon and the Exchange of Good PracQces
• Capacity Building in the field of higher educaQon
• Giving the presented background a proposal was submiXed
• EducaQonal Modules for Electric and Electronic Circuits Theory and PracQce following an Enquiry-‐based Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by VISIR
“(Re)Thinking Higher Engineering Educa4on”
Numbers maRer ...
• PhET InteracQve SimulaQons, from the University of Colorado, US, reports over one hundred million (100,000,000) simulaQons delivered in 2013, aeer a Qme period of approx. 10 years.
• VISIR registered thirteen thousand accesses (13,000) in 2015, for a period of approx. 8 years [11].
